Agreed!! And well said, Jim. Former U.S. Army Special Forces soldier Jim Hanson is the author of that op/ed. Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) needs to simply apologize for his offensive, and breathtakingly stupid comment….without the political disclaimers and equivocating he did the first time. That apology should first and foremost go to those who have actually received the Purple Heart, and then to those who have served in combat. Then, whoever faces him in November should use his spectacular blunder to beat him. The good people in his Tennessee congressional district have an opportunity in November to fire him.
